I recently received a flyer from American Digital for equipment
including some MultiTech modems.  Being in the market for a new modem,
this was of some interest.  They list the following external modems:

224EH		2400bps with MNP 3,4, & 5		$299

696EA		9600bps V.29 with 			$475
		MNP 3, 4, 5, & 6

V.32EA		9600bps with Error Correction, 		$630
		& MNP 3, 4, & 5


The questions I have are:

	Are these good prices for these types of modems?

	Would the V.32EA be a good choice for a dialin/dialout port on a
	Xenix/386 v.3.2.3 system?  What about the 224EH?  What is going
	to happen to MNPx protocols vs. CCITT standards?

	What are most peoples experence with Multitechs?

	Does anyone have a phone number &/or E-net @ for Multitech?

Thanks in Advance
